A 1922 Spanish-style house with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, on a 0.6-acre lot
This house was designed by the architect Wallace Neff for John Willis Baer, the president of Occidental College from 1906 to 1916, and incorporates Spanish and Mediterranean elements. Original tiles throughout the house remain intact, as does an elevated platform in the living room designed to be occupied by musicians during large parties.
The ocean and a number of high-end resorts are within a few blocks of the property, as is shopping that includes organic markets and bakeries.
